All the XP machine needs is to be set to get an IP address/DNS via DHCP. Even if the hybrid doesn't pnp it, it will allow you access to the Internet through the hybrid just fine. Have you set DHCP? What IP address did it get?

The hybrid didn't announce the windows machine.

The default setting for the windows computer is set for obtain ip & dns. DHCP is default also.

Pinging 192.168.80.1 from the windows machine:Destination is unreachable

This machine was a linuxmce computer. It had no problem getting a ip address from the core and working properly.Thanks

This means it has no routeability to the core's internal IP address, which given that the core is on the same subnet probably means that the XP machine doesn't have an IP address at all, hence no ability to route and so it drops the packets because the destination is unreachable.

This would happen because either:

1) It isn't set to DHCP and still has a static IP that isn't valid for that subnet (ie isn't 192.169.80.x)2) It isn't successfully receiving a DHCP lease3) The NIC port is disabled

1. Not sure2. Not sure3. As I state before, this was a working linuxmce MD that worked.Thanks

I can't paste any data since the windows computer isn't connected to the network.

ipconfing does basically nothing

pinging 192.168.80.1 & google.com...nothing

I'm glad you fixed it, however...

none of these commands would have done "nothing"! you spelt ipconfig incorrectly, and the pings would have come back with messages or errors, either of which would have allowed us to find the issue very quickly. And on point three, it doesn't matter that it was working as an MD before, it is now running XP which could easily have disabled the port (in fact that is exactly what it would have done if you didn't have the drivers installed!)

Have fun with your new XP machine and be aware that it is now behind a firewall so you will have to configure that if you want anything outside the hybrid machine to be able to connect to your XP machine (web admin)
